Same-sex ‘marriage’ in the US, two children per family in China

Salt Lake City, UTAH, US: While speakers at the ninth World Congress of Families here chafed against the US Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex unions all over America, China announced the end of its one-child policy, which has been the bane of Chinese family life since 1987. Chinese families may now have two children each, according to the announcement, which was the highlight of an important Communist Party meeting, according to the New York Times.

The Times attributed China’s decision to fears that an aging population could jeopardize the country’s economic growth, which has made China the second strongest economy in the world after the United States, and a world economic power. Despite China’s population of 1.3 billion, the Xi Jinping government decided the country needs more young people to sustain its economic surge. A big portion of the population had begun to age, dropping out of the productive workforce, but remaining part of the “useless eaters.”
